The Final Day on the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop – My Turn!
First of all I’d like to thank Joan from Moosestash Quilting for hosting this month’s hop with such a fun theme. I’m not sure which is my favourite for winter quilts; polar bears, penguins or snowmen! It was easy for me to know what I wanted to share on the hop, because I had madeContinue reading “The Final Day on the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop – My Turn!”
#2022 Planning Party and Favourite Finish
It’s time for Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl’s annual link up to help with setting goals and plans for the new year. My goals for last year were twofold: 1. Learn to use my new toy once it was set up. It was so much fun to learn how to put quilts on the frame andContinue reading “#2022 Planning Party and Favourite Finish”
October Block Report
October was another great month. I even had a few days at the studio and did some playing on my longarm. 3 quilts finished in 3 1/2 days. Mainly Stitch in the Ditch work since the fabrics and pattern in the quilts were so great. They didn’t need any embellishing. Previous YTD Count: 591 blocksContinue reading “October Block Report”

August OMG Check In
All in all August was a good month! Our Evacuation Alert was lifted so I was able to go to my studio for a few days and had sewing time almost every day. My goal for August was to keep trying to finish up some projects: 1. Finish my Orange You Glad Blog Hop ProjectContinue reading “August OMG Check In”
My Trip to the Studio
It was so wonderful to finally be able to take a trip to the studio. My ferry was running and the wait was short. It was so nice to take the ferry instead of having to drive the long way around. It was a good day to travel, not too hot and the smoke wasContinue reading “My Trip to the Studio”
Happy Mail
When I was leaving home to come to the studio (yes, I’m still here 😄) I stopped at the post office to check our mail. I was thrilled to get not one, but two parcels. The first was a box of special goodies from Mad About Patchwork. I had won a gift certificate from thisContinue reading “Happy Mail”
Felicia’s World Batik Scrappy Fun
It has been an interesting month in my part of the world. A couple of weeks ago I found myself able to spend time at the studio where I decided I needed to try working with pantos for the first time. In the week I was there I managed to finish 5 quilts on theContinue reading “Felicia’s World Batik Scrappy Fun”
Friday Finishing Fun
I’m sitting here with a lap full of fun today and counting this quilt as a finish. I was at the studio a week ago to spend quality time with my longarm. This quilt was quilted with running feathers using white Essentials thread from Connecting Threads. My Avante loves this thread! I used a beautifulContinue reading “Friday Finishing Fun”

May OMG Check In
My first goal was to get this quilt finished for my granddaughter to gift to her best friend. The push for me to travel to the studio was hearing my DIL and grands will be in Alberta this week. Done and mailed! The quilt was made from a pattern, Waltzing With Bears by Sandra fromContinue reading “May OMG Check In”
Another UFO Finished
Several months ago I was lucky enough to do a pattern test for Sandra of MMM Quilts. Her pattern Waltzing With Bear was fun to do since the pattern was so well written and can be found here. My granddaughter had fallen in love with this quilt and asked if I could add to itContinue reading “Another UFO Finished”

Lost in Space
I have been having a week that meant I have been out of touch this week. Apparently WordPress lost all of the links I had posted on my last posts so I will try to get that fixed ASAP. Appointments and meetings filled my time along with family news of Covid-19 testing and quarantining whileContinue reading “Lost in Space”

It’s always fun to head over and see what brings joy in to people’s lives. For me, one of the biggest joys is family.Continue reading “I Love Thursday #39”
Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?
Well that’s what I am after reading Sue and Roseanne’s fun blog post today at Home sewn By Us. They received TWO nominations for the Outstanding Blogger Award. TWO blogger friends developed five questions and added them to their nomination list. In my opinion it is so perfectly deserved. Then I got to the bottomContinue reading “Have You Heard the Word Gobsmacked?”
The Eagle has Landed!
I’m finally finished my quilt for a very dear friend. I learned a lot making this quilt; to listen to the longarm and how it feels and sounds when everything is perfect. I learned that unquilting takes days to undo what can be done in an hour. 😉 I also learned that having the perfectContinue reading “The Eagle has Landed!”
